Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Market, Lima 15047, Peru

Enjoy tasting regional meals, fruits, cheeses, liquors, drinks, and sweets, all the while chatting and laughing with our enthusiastic friends in the market who are always so eager to share their favorite flavors.

For seafood lovers and those who will try anything once, our favourite ceviche vendor will show you how to prepare this Peruvian classic in the market itself.

Carefully pace your eating and always save some room in your stomach! We then continue to meander through the market, tasting a large variety of dried snacks, side dishes, fresh fruits, time-honored liquors that will surely give you a nice jolt, and succulent juices you won’t easily find on just any restaurant menu.

Whether you love to eat or just want to see what the Peruvian food hype is all about, our market tour is definitely an authentic, alternative experience that foodies can’t miss.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Cementerio de Nueva Esperanza, San Pedro SN, Lima Peru

After a 40-minute drive, you'll reach the second largest cemetery in the world. It's a very impressive place, different than any other cemetery you have visited before. It's located amidst the hills and human settlements. You'll have the chance to look around and if you're into photography, you'll surely take a bunch of artistic photos.

Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Lima, Villa María del Triunfo 15809, Peru

You'll then head towards the human settlement where our local cook has prepared a delicious drink for your group. These human settlements are the result of the late 20th century growth towards the hills by migrant populations in Lima. While these are the poorest neighborhoods of Lima, they're filled with hardworking people who're trying to provide a better life for their children. The visit focuses on hope, optimism and positive initiatives.

A local guide will show you around her neighborhood located on the hillsides of Lima’s outskirts and will tell you more about the local project your visit supports and on some days you'll be able to witness the project and participating kids in action!

The aim of this experience is a genuine intercultural experience where you'll visit and interact with several locals. You'll learn more about daily life in this harsh environment but will also get the chance to be introduced to some of the efforts carried out to improve the situation. Every tour is a bit different as other places and people are visited and depending on the fitness and physical abilities of the group.

Duration: 2 hours
